to SIC yesterday, but it closed last night

thrce-story Wclday bank building has two
stories blown off and is one of the worst

occupied by the Gd.Cic was so badly
wrecked that the remnants Of the press
and fixtures have been removed to other
quarters, and the paper will now

have had to seek shelter among their
neighb0rs. Citizens who have escaped the
storm are cheerlully lending their assist

company has considerable force OF men
at work putting up the fallen poles and

Morgan, whose head was cut by a flying

some unknown reason, are again
occupied by the weather-worn
tramps with sun burned faces.
One such, Il broad shOaldered
hearty specimen of manhood, with
the flowing white beard and hair
and face of a patriach, reports the
South to he "booming.' Since
leaving here last October he has
tramped as far as Florida. He
says he could have obtained EN-.
ployment OH the farms and in the
cities, as there is a general demand
tor labor, but thought it too late for
him at his age to change his mode
Ofliving.
He was in business in Philadel-
phia at the outbreak of the rebel

through the var, and not being
able to get employment took to
tramping, which agreed so well with
his health that he has never been
able to resume his former ways.
He was delicate ID early lite, but
his outdoor life has made him
strong and vigorous. He felcitates
himself that the interstate bill will

face Of the water. Mr.. SimsOn was
in small canoe, aud Immediately
the alligator saw the craft he sscame

padding along under the shore, and
Inadvertently startled the reptile
